untouched

every comfort i took from you
left questions swirling flooding too
engulfed in madness painted blue
getting bearings from off the chart
imprecise measures to set it right
anticlimactic rhythmic heart
counts the sadnesses into the night

endlessness that i took from you
nearly swallowed departures too
darling creatures drastic in blue
inhabited lucid moments numbered
nightly excursions to sacred space
gently warmed as others slumbered
seeing sadness in solace’s face

frustrated tears i took from you
orphaned thoughts once collected too
rummaging through the darkest blue
listing a memory’s catalogue
opening files untouched in years
reaching entries in a sullen fog
now cutting off fears with the blankest tears
